Nollywood’s Yemi Solade thinks it is filled with Yahoo boys

Veteran actor Yemi Solade has stated that he thinks the Nollywood industry is not the way it should be as it has been filled with Yahoo boys.

The actor alleges that Yahoo boys and people of loose moral character now called themselves pros in the industry.

He adds that he is very much displeased with the state of affairs in the industry presently.

In his interview with The Nigerian Tribune, the 60-year-old actor also stated the Nigerian movie industry is not really at a place it ought to be.

“…It has become an all-comers affair, anybody can stroll in and act. All the Yahoo boy are now there, all the prostitutes that you can imagine are there.

“People cannot even differentiate between the core professionals and these class of clowns who have infiltrated the association, but they didn’t just fly in, some people whom you refer to as core professionals brought them in.

“It’s just so porous that anybody can become an actor, the entry point is so porous and annoying. It’s a profession and it must be handled and treated as one.

“I am not really pleased with the state of the industry. It’s a professional body and we must portray ourselves as one that has mastered the art and craft of the profession,” he says in the interview.
